[Libav-user] Problema with RTP stream (h264)

[Rafa Lopez]

Hi Camera Man

Thanks for the reply. I have also patched my own ffmpeg (2.0.2) with the
following lines in udp.c (avformat directory):

// #define UDP_TX_BUF_SIZE 32768 old value
#define UDP_TX_BUF_SIZE 65536

// #define UDP_MAX_PKT_SIZE 65536 old value
#define UDP_MAX_PKT_SIZE 131072

and still fails. I have algo patch with UDP_MAX_PKT_SIZE 524288 (and
UDP_MAX_PKT_SIZE 1048576) and still fails. Testing and testing I have found
that that with version 0.8.15  (with UDP_MAX_PKT_SIZE 65536) it happens
less. Are you sure it depends on that parameter? Any other ideas I can try?

If I reduce the resolution of the camera, it work properly. The original
resolucion (1280x960) always fails

Thanks in advance
